摘要: We illustrate how importance sampling can be implemented in the Least-Squares Monte-Carlo approach (LSM) introduced by Longsta and Schwartz (2001). The fact that LSM estimates optimal stopping rule, gives way to application of a change measure accelerate simulation. An Accelerated (ALSM) estimator is presented compared with straight forward LSM. rate convergence this empirically studied as function chosen measure. algorithm optimize choice discussed.
